It is undeniable that obese people are more at risk, along with the elderly and people with serious pre-existing health conditions

One thing not mentioned however is how much exposure someone had. A lot of healthy healthcare workers had serious covid symptoms and it was preposed that if a lot of the virus enters the body at once, it could overwhelm the body’s ability to mount a defense. Picture tiny virus cells in droplets. The ideal would be just 1 or 2 entering the body and beginning to replicate, the body’s immune system responds and deals with them. However, if thousands entered the body at roughly the same time and began to replicate at the same rate as the 1 or 2 from before, you could have an entirely different situation

Once again, disclaimer: don’t ban me, this is not medical advice, consult your doctor, I am not a doctor
